Set on a working farm and surrounded by the peaceful Angus countryside, this cosy single-storey cottage makes a delightful retreat for couples, small families, friends and solo travellers exploring a stunning part of Central Scotland. Providing accommodation for up to three guests, the property also has space in the front porch and boot room for a canine companion to tag along and help you discover the area’s beautiful countryside and stunning coastline. Beautifully furnished and tastefully decorated, with a sweet conservatory offering tranquil views, this secluded hideaway is a fabulous base for experiencing the remote beaches of Tayside.

Stepping inside this sweet, bright and inviting stone-built cottage, the boot room has plenty of space for coats, shoes and your four-legged friend. Heading through, the galley-style kitchen is perfect for rustling up delicious family meals which you can share in the light-filled dining area occupying the conservatory. At the heart of the house, the pretty lounge has comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a wood burner to snuggle in front of. Exploring the cottage further you will find a refreshing bathroom alongside two cosy and relaxing bedrooms: a pretty super-king-size room and a cheerful nautically themed single. Outside, relax and enjoy a dip in the hot tub and there’s garden furniture so you can sit out with a morning coffee and take in the surrounding views with your canine companion at your feet.

A lovely, cozy, quiet cottage with amazing views from every window and off the beaten track. Beautifully furnished and decorated. Log burner was ideal for us in stormy few days in February. Definitely a great place to switch off and get away from it all. Very clean and well- maintained. Everything there you would need. Little dining area in sunroomRead more a bonus. Very relaxing and comfortable so would strongly recommend a stay here! Hide

Lovely comfortable cottage in a really nice location with plenty of local areas to visit and walk. Angus is well known for its good food produce and a trip to Arbroath will be a must for Smokies and hot smoked salmon, Johnshaven was our choice for Lobster.

The location is exceptional. The walk to the beach and beach itself are amazing. The cottage is perfect for 2 or 3 people and is very quiet.

The cottage was lovely. Clean comfortable and cosy. The boot room and conservatory made the cottage feel so much bigger. The views from all sides were tremendous. Gazing out the widows was rewarded with wildlife deer, hares, buzzards swallows and we haven't seen so many butterflies in years.

The cottage sits at the top of a rise rewarding you with great views and big skies/lovely sunsets in a largely peaceful, somewhat exposed and windy, rural location. Our peace was unfortunately interrupted several days by a lot of coming and going of vans re renovations at a neighbouring cottage.

A real nice and comfortable cottage; fantastic views and a great place to hike from to spectacular coastal paths or charming places in rural Angus. It's very comfortable; a fine kingsize bed, a little conservatory that doubles as a dining room and a nice kitchen.

A wonderful cottage in a peaceful location with beautiful views through every window. Immaculately clean with everything you need supplied. We spent many a happy hour in the conservatory relaxing and reading and it was a lovely Sun trap. It is really handy for Lunan Bay with it's beautiful beach. It is our second visit and hopefully not our last.
